Upgrading from previous version tells me:

Hmm. #263715, #264953, my last mail to #265247?

I already had to face this problems with the previous versions of
tetex-extra and tetex-base. It's solved in tetex-base but in
tetex-extra there is still a problem in the postinst script. I
fixed it by adding the parameter --cnffile to the call for the
commands fmtutil and updmap, but this was just a dirty hack(I'm not
sure if I've done it the right way).

Probably VARTEXMF is not set in texmf.cnf.

I've read all bug reports, they are very similar but not the same.

tetex-extra there is still a problem in the postinst script. I

Probably VARTEXMF is not set in texmf.cnf.

Snipped from the postinst script:

echo "Running initex. This may take some time. ..."
if $TEXINIT_P --missing > $tempfile; then

and

TEXINIT_P="/usr/bin/fmtutil"

So there is no variable used. But I didn't have time to figure out how
fmtutil was called in the previous versions of tetex-extra.

Please have a look at texmf.cnf for VARTEXMF!
